Italy eyeing partial privatisations in 2015

Italy hopes to sell off major parts of the postal service, air traffic control company and national railway in 2015 after the "unfavourable" market of 2014, the economy minister has said.

The government will likely sell off 40 percent of Poste Italiane, 49 percent of the air traffic control company ENAV and nearly 40 percent of State Railways (FS), Pier Carlo Padoan said in an interview published Wednesday.
